Why it was refused
- The Local Planning Authority consider that the size, scale, proportions and siting of the proposed dormer window to the front would result in a visually dominant and out of character addition that causes harm to the application property and wider street scene. The proposal would therefore be contrary Policy P10 of the Core Strategy Review (2019), saved policies GP5 and BD6 of the Unitary Development Plan Review (2006), policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide SPD (2012) and Section 14 of the Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
